I may have to turn in my 'Old Guy' membership card - for long ago giving up on the 'immaculate workbench'. Oh, I still fix it right the first time, and I am religious about putting stuff away - but almost forty years of (five) kids in the home means I must search 90 minutes or more for even common tools.

"Sorry, Dad - I've had that Torx driver (for 'security' screws) in the back of my truck for more than year . . . you never use it".(It never ocurs to them that I can't use it if I can't find it.

Of course, now I'm quite accomplished at drilling out 'security' screws on things with no user-serviceable parts inside'.

About Me

Twenty-three years flying fast jets for the USAF, ten years doing computer software reviews for ZDNet, two books on my combat experiences plus the memoirs of Robin Olds, and a load of good memories about years in Europe, Asia and the US.
